Formation and Interactions of Topological Defects [E-Book] : Proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute on Formation and Interactions of Topological Defects, held August 22–September 2, 1994, in Cambridge, England / edited by Anne-Christine Davis, Robert Brandenberger.
Topological defects have recently become of great interest in condensed matter physics, particle physics and cosmology. They are the unavoidable remnants of many symmetry breaking phase transitions. Topological defects can play an important role in describing the properties of many condensed matter...
